Annotated Snippet

cat <<EOF
/**
 * ${class}${atomicname}() - atomic decrement unless positive with ${desc_order} ordering
 * @v: pointer to ${atomic}_t
 *
 * If (@v <= 0), atomically updates @v to (@v - 1) with ${desc_order} ordering.
 * Otherwise, @v is not modified and relaxed ordering is provided.
 *
 * ${desc_noinstr}
 *
 * Return: @true if @v was updated, @false otherwise.

Annotation

• Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / scripts.
• Implementation status: atlas-only.

Implementation Notes

• This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
• Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
• Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
